In our 30th year, with your help, we can intensify our pursuit of justice for the many victims of Indonesia's security forces crimes, from the coup in 1965 that brought the dictator Suharto to power, through the illegal invasion and occupation of Timor-Leste to the ongoing human rights violations against West Papuans. We need your help in keeping up the pressure on the U.S. government to acknowledge its role in arming and training the perpetrators of these crimes.

TAKE ACTION: Join the Global Campaign Immediate for the Release of Papuan Political Prisoners!

Dear friends,

We hope that you and your families are well during this time of COVID-19 crisis.

The trial of six political prisoners concluded on Friday, April 24, 2020, with the judges convicting and sentencing all six for treason (makar) for their peaceful demonstration condemning racism against Papuans in front of the Presidential Palace in Jakarta on 28 August 2019.

We call for everyone to join the global campaign
#BebaskanTapol / #FreePapuanPoliticalPrisoners.

You can participate in the campaign by:

1. Posting solidarity messages to demand the Indonesian Government immediately release all political prisoners. You can attach the poster above or take a photo of yourself holding a sign. Here is a sign to download and print sign (PDF)

Use the tag lines #BebaskanTapol and #FreePapuanPoliticalPrisoners. Share on your social media accounts and tag us @etan009 and @fri_westpapua (Instagram), @etan009 and @friwp (Twitter), and East Timor and Indonesia Action Network and Front Rakyat Indonesia untuk West Papua (Facebook).

2. Including mentions to your national governments and Foreign Ministries urging them to pressure Indonesia to release political prisoners.

3. Sharing this call to action with your friends and networks and encourage them to do their own postings.

Peaceful Protest is a Human Right!

Thank you,
ETAN

Invest in Justice - Support ETAN on Giving Tuesday!

http://etan.org/givingtuesday_2017.htm

Give to ETAN on #GivingTuesday Why wait for the end of the year to invest in justice? Don't delay - donate to ETAN today! #GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media.  Your contribution supports ETAN's ongoing support for the people of Timor-Leste's efforts to establish permanent maritime boundaries with its neighbors. Legally-recognized boundaries would end Australia's theft of Timor's resources and bring to a close the independence struggle that began more than 40 years ago. Your gift will help maintain and strengthen ETAN's crucial information sharing via email and on social media. So many people, perhaps including you, depend us to keep them informed about important news about Timor-Leste, Indonesia, and West Papua.  With your help, we can intensify our pursuit of justice for the many victims of Indonesia's security forces crimes: from the coup in 1965 that brought the dictator Suharto to power, through the illegal invasion and occupation of Timor-Leste to the West Papuans subject to ongoing human rights violations. And we need your help in keeping up the pressure on the U.S. government to acknowledge its role in arming and training the perpetrators of these crimes. We can only maintain and expand these activities with the generous support of people like yourself.  Don't delay, please donate today. John M. MillerNational Coordinator, ETAN
